☀️ABOUT THE SUMMER SOLSTICE☀️

The Summer Solstice, or Litha in Northern European traditions, marks the beginning of summer, with early dawns, long days, and short nights. It's one of the four major turning points for our planet Earth, the time of nature’s abundance and fertility.

Summer is the time to develop faith in our life, step deeper into our light, and trust that just like the Sun, we will rise no matter what life brings us.
